The cycling great, Lance Armstrong is officially retiring after this year's Tour de France. As a huge fan, I'm definitely sad that I didn't get to see him ride in person.
However, I believe this will be a huge opportunity for his foundation and for cancer research. Over 40 million dollars has been raised by the sale of LIVESTRONG bracelets and his ability to raise money for a cure is remarkable.
He has had a remarkable cycling career, regardless of this year's TdF and will be able to make even a bigger impact for cancer survivors after this year's race.
Bravo Lance!
